The Domino European Digital Spectrum Event is back!
In 2022 Domino was pleased to host the first Digital European Spectrum event, to coincide with the unveiling of the new Digital Centre of Excellence in Nieuwegein, Netherlands. The event received such positive feedback from the market, we are excited to announce the 2nd European Digital Spectrum event. We invite you to be a part of it!
During this open house event, there will be presentations from a key economist on the future of digital printing, live technology demonstrations, table top exhibitions run by our selected partners, and panel discussions featuring a focus on discovering the "Untapped Potential of Digital Solutions".
New this year, in addition to Digital printing solutions, Coding and Marking solutions will also be on show. Increasingly, Domino is seeing the overlap between these two fields. With the transition from 1D barcode to the new 2D barcode, perhaps even more so than ever. A great addition to the speakers' programme is the session covering everything surrounding this transition and how companies can make the most of it. With 2027 as the deadline for the disappearance of the old linear barcode, a welcome addition to the programme.
Please find a more detailed agenda for specific meeting content below. In addition to this there is some fun planned too that will feature an organised dinner at a local restaurant in Utrecht, food trucks, and so much more.
We invite you to view the video and experience the 1st Spectrum Event in 2022:

Accommodation
We have negotiated a room rate during our event with the following hotel, Hotel Mitland. This Hotel is centrally located in stunning Utrecht, a short 20-minute drive to the Domino Centre of Excellence. The city of Utrecht is an ideal location to explore shops, restaurants and experience the essence of the Netherlands!
Transportation Details
Arriving to the Mitland hotel from Amsterdam Airport Schipol:
- By car or taxi service: 40-60 minutes, depending on the traffic
- By public transportation: from Amsterdam Airport Schipol take the direct InterCity train to Utrecht Centraal, it leaves in every 15 minutes and takes 30-35 minutes. From Utrecht Centraal to your assigned hotel the most efficient way is to take a taxi, it takes 15-20 minutes depending on the distance and the traffic.
During the event there will be NO parking space available for your own vehicle at the location. Our parking lot will be occupied by the food trucks and the event service providers.
Domino will be providing shuttle services for the duration of the event between the hotel and the Digital Centre of Excellence. The shuttle service will be available all day long: at the end of day 1 to the restaurant (for those visiting the CoE on the 17th) or pick up from the Hotel Mitland to the restaurant and back again; Day 2, shuttle service between the hotel and the CoE.
You can, of course, use any other taxi service providers on your own cost if our pre-arranged shuttle service would not fit your needs.
Save the date and see you soon!
